In all other respects, 5.00a is equivalent to the recently announced 3.16a release (based on GCC 2.8.1). The GCC 3 backend implements several new optimizations improving execution performance. It offers a new Zero-Cost Exception mechanism (currently available on alpha-openvms, pa-hpux, sparc-solaris) that should boost the performance of applications using exception handlers extensively. This release is the first step in the GNAT Pro migration to the GCC 3 technology. Other major ports will transition to GCC 3 in the forthcoming GNAT 5.xx releases. New developments & ports will be performed on this new branch of our technology. The GNAT Pro 3.xx technology will continue to evolve in parallel during the transition period. We encourage users of the currently available GNAT Pro 5.00 platforms to try it and plan a transition at their convenience. Please send your questions or comments to report@gnat.com
